Reading this forum I see a number of bikes are stolen on a weekly basis-even a folder stolen from a locked car boot. On our latest ECO bike we have added an extendable cable to the normal rear wheel lock-the wheel lock is ok,stops an opportunist thief riding the bike away but the thief could...

When I return home from a few days away I cannot open the front door because of junk mail- I have decided to join the Daily Mail's campaign to collect it up ,cross out my address and write upon UNSOLICITED MAIL-RETURN TO SENDER and put the mail back in the post box. The Royal Mail until recently...

Our latest bike style is now en-ship to us,anticipated delivery date mid January.The 'ECO' bike is the first of many Kudos Cycles which are wholly designed by the Kudos UK design team. The design suits a rider (male of female) who wishes to have an ease of access lowered top tube but with a more...

I made this posting on a less often visited part of the forum,having gone through all the effort at my slow typing speeds I thought it might be useful to first time e-bike purchasers. Dan....definitely go somewhere to ride a number of different types of e-bikes and maybe the following may help...

We have a number of bikes which are in our warehouse for comparative test purposes against the current Kudos production bikes-these bikes are mostly 9 months old and have had little usage. All our testing is now finished so we wish to dispose of these bikes,dependent upon spec we are asking...

Recent announcement by the Taiwan Co-Advanced Lithium Electrochemistry Co Ltd to increase the cycle life of LifePo4 from 2000 cycles to 5400 cycles,still maintaining 80% capacity over the life. A double layer nano carbon coating allows olivine cathode material to be coated with different carbon...

LiFePO4 versus LiMn204 We have a number of bikes in our warehouse that are under test – some have LiFePO4 batteries and some have LiMn2O4 batteries (manganese spinel based lithium-ion polymer or lithium-ion batteries). We have noticed that the 10AH LiFePO4 battery has a sustained voltage up to...

Some while ago I used flecc's formula to calculate the depreciation costs of an e-bike,comparing capital expenditure and battery types-the calculations have great relevance to AndyB's dilemma over his current £500 replacement battery costs. Some claim that the depreciation of an electric bike...

Advantages and disadvantagesThe LiFePO4 battery uses a lithium-ion-derived chemistry and shares many of its advantages and disadvantages with other lithium ion battery chemistries. However, one key advantage over other lithium-ion batteries is the superior thermal and chemical stability...

This video shows one of the reasons why China banned e-bikes in 4 cities and justifies the 15.5 mph and 250 watt power limits in Europe. I have to admit it is amazing to watch and on a race track I would be impressed but on public roads!!!! Not very good at providing the link perhaps someone...

Court Sets Final Multi Million Euro Fines for Dutch Bike Makers in Competition Case Textsize: 0 comments Wednesday, October 05, 2011 ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands – Yesterday, the Dutch Court of Appeal for Trade & Industry has set the final fines for Dutch bike makers...

Having attended Eurobike at Friedrichshaven,Southern Germany. Exhibited at 50 plus beurs,Utrecht,Holland and exhibiting at the Cycle Show,NEC this coming week it seemed an opportune moment to consider what each country requires of their e-bike. The Germans seek high tech bikes which often have...

The e-bike industry has a good presence at the NEC Cycle Show. The show runs from Sept 29 (Trade Day),Sept 30 > October 2. I looked through the exhibitor list to pick out e-bike suppliers that I recognised,I apologise if I missed anyone-the e-bike suppliers are not highlighted and do not have...

Not sure that this forum is widely read in Holland but please note we will be exhibiting the full range of Kudos e-bikes at the show-50 plus beurs at Jaabeurs,Utrecht,Holland....stand 12B060....September 13 to 18. Will be interesting to compare the Dutch attitude to the type and style of e-bike...

I posted this elsewhere but it deserves it's own thread. Sitting in the evening in Konstanz,over the lake from Friedrichshafen(Eurobike)I couldn't help noticing that every bike looked almost new. I spoke to a sales guy at the show and he advised that is why the rrp had to be high,with big...

As someone who has to attend many shows each year I wasn't ready for the intensity of Eurobike. There are literally bikes crossing from all directions,there must be contact but I must say I never saw a crash,the Germans are fast but good riders. Bosch are going for world domination with their...

There is a perception in the UK that e-bikes are only for oldies,especially from the teenage generation. We recently sold 4 Kudos Sport bikes to a family who go biking every Sunday,they enjoy that sea promenade from Folkestone to Dymchurch-on a nice day it is a refreshing seaside ride. On...

I originally put this posting on another thread but it is so pivotal to the growth of our industry that I think it deserves it's own thread.The original posting was in response to a comment about BEBA by Bob@Juicy Bikes. Bob,I cannot agree with you about BEBA,I find these trade type...
